Furthermore, Suraykumar Yadav dethroned Pakistani skipper Babar Azam and claimed world no. 2 place in the list of the 10 best hitters. Mohammad Rizwan retained the top spot from him after an impressive show against England in the ongoing bilateral series.

After a successful outing against Australia, Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya has broken into the top 5 of the all-rounder charts. Hardik put in a good performance and led India to the finish line several times. With 184 points, he is tied with Wanindu Hasaranga. Afghanistan captain Mohammad Nabi is currently number one in the overall standings.

India and Pakistan are the biggest gainers in the revised ICC T20 rankings

Indian and Pakistani players are the biggest gainers in the latest T20 rankings. Both Asian giants simultaneously dominate in the respective bilateral series. Pakistan hosts England for a 7-match T20 series, while India recently defeated Australia in a 3-match T20 series.

Babar Azam, despite a magnificent hundred against England in the second game, slipped to third position. Harry Brook, a young Englishman, has recorded the biggest jump in the latest rankings. He jumped 118 places and is now ranked 29th. Brook has scored two thirty one fifty in the last three T20 internationals against Pakistan.
